Prusa Mini - Nozzle Reminder V0.60

March 21, 2023
Description
I keep forgetting which nozzle is in the printer.
That's why I created a reminder for my Prusa Mini. As soon as I change a nozzle, I set the reminder accordingly. It sits high up on the stepper motor of the z-axis, held by one or two magnets (optional).
There is also a larger version with 0.80mm nozzle.
Printing information
Layer height: 0.20mm
Infill: Support cubic 20%
Support: none
Colour change - holder: 45,20 and 59,40mm
Colour change - selector: 8,20mm
Assembly
- Slide a piece of filament into the groove on the front of the holder (approx. 60mm). This is optional and only necessary for a perfect look.
- Push a piece of filament into the hole provided in the selector. This is necessary for a good hold of the selector on the holder. This piece should be firmly attached to the selector. You can use some glue here if necessary.
- Stick a magnet (approx. 10mm diameter, 4mm height) into the hole at the bottom of the holder.
I use two magnets on top of each other (each 2mm high). The holder then fits perfectly into the hole on the top of the stepper motor, stays in place, yet is easy to remove if necessary.
Alternatively, you can attach the holder to the stepper motor with double-sided adhesive tape. Use whatever you have available.
I am looking forward to your Makes! :-)
By the way: If you like the model, but you use other nozzles than the three I have provided, please write a comment. I will create an extended version if necessary.
The following filament was used in the pictures above:
